Performing salaah at home if there is social distancing in one's masjid

Question

With the distances of one meter at the Masjid, some people prefer to perform their salaat in jamaat in other private places (like in a house) with their shoulders together. They perform the five salaat and the jumuah salaat in houses with their shoulders together? Is it correct? Or is it better for these people to come to the Masjid ?

Mufti Ebrahim Salejee · Accepted Answer

We have been encouraging people to go to the musjid and somehow join the saffs. Even if it is that all are not agreed there will be two or three people who will agree to join.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: In reference to the above subject, I wanted some clarification from the respected Mufi Saheb.

Due to my weakness, I was unable to understand Mufti Saheb's answer. Could respected Mufti Saheb please advise on what I, as an individual living in an area where such distancing is being imposed do? Should I read salaah individually in the masjid or join the jamaat. Please advise.

A: An easy approach is to go to the musjid and if you find a few people like-minded musallees as yourself then do the jamaat with them before the main jamaat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
